Comments Off on Good Will is God’s Way

The Apostle Paul said, “15 Some preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here (in prison) for the defense of the gospel.”    (Philippians 1:15-16 ESV Bold added) I had to ask myself this morning, “Am I a man of good will or do I […]

Autumn is upon us. We were watching our wonderful church service on line. Covid-19 has changed our lives at least until most people are vaccinated.

Comments Off on Trust Him When Your Life Screams Not To

At least once in your life, you will be brought to the end of your rope. You will wonder where God is. You will doubt if He is really for you. You will question if He is working on your behalf.  I confess during my first wife’s 7 year battle with terminal cancer (diagnosed at age […]

Choose the Narrow Path

Comments Off on Choose the Narrow Path

Have you ever gone hiking? If you’ve been in the military like many of us, you’ve gone on many fun and exciting hikes. Hm! Seemingly, the best way to hike is to find the smoothest, widest, path…one that was made or repaved recently. Ah yes! Easy, wide, smooth. My self-centered nature prefers that path which gives me what […]
